Being attacked fiercely from the direction of the Zhou Kingdom for no reason, Zhao Kuo, the Yuyi Marquis who commanded Beizhen, responded quickly and decided to send an envoy to Weizhou City to ask for an explanation.
However, when the envoy saw the flags of Qi flying in the sky outside the city, and combined with the words of the soldiers who fled back, it was not difficult to know that Zhou and Qi had already formed an alliance and successfully launched a surprise attack in the Woye Town area of Beizhen.
Although he knew that Beizhen had suffered serious losses at the time, the envoy still had to put on a show and righteously accuse the Zhou people. Even if there was no soldier behind him, he still had to pretend to be pressing down on the enemy.
In the eyes of Gao Jiajun, this kind of trick is just a small trick. After a short discussion with Weizhou Governor Shao Ziru, Gao Gao finally decided to use Beizhen as the excuse for allowing the bandits to cause chaos and cause trouble in the world. Weizhou City was just trying to protect the people and had no choice but to take justice.
Fight back. Then, the envoy sent by Zhao Kuo was blasted out.
The envoys obtained the explanation, and the morale of Gao Jiajun and Zhou people increased, and both sides got what they needed.
It can be seen that the rebellious behavior of Zhao Kuo, the imperial barbarian, is not very popular. However, the Beizhen people still have an overwhelming advantage in military strength. Their will to take advantage of the situation will not be weakened by a small defeat.
lay down.
——Just as Gao Jiajun wanted to return to Beizhen and his hometown.
There are many cases of "father and son soldiers" in the Gao family, and most of them know the real purpose of the Gao family's military expedition: the son has longing for a hometown he has never met, and the father is more tired of the meaningless expeditions.
discuss.
He joined the army at the age of fifteen and returned home at the age of eighty.
In this era, there are many people who have experienced war throughout their lives, and many of them have witnessed their hometowns being destroyed with their own eyes.
The numbness of wandering in a foreign land for many years and drifting away can most easily lead to confusion and depression.
The journey back was long and the dangers were increasing day by day. Three days later, the Gao family army began to break camp and march as scheduled.
Most of the wounded left after the surprise attack were willing to accompany the army to Qunma Pass. A few seriously injured were left behind in Weizhou City and were taken care of by Shao Ziru. In contrast, Shao Ziru also added a group of Zhou soldiers to join the Gao family's army, about a thousand people.
Yu Wenxuan and personal guard Zhu Dian were also among them.
Yu Ke couldn't understand why Gao Gao agreed to come with Yu Wenxuan and Zhu Tian, so he murmured harsh words in Murong Yan's ears like "I want to kill him" and "I want to dig out his eyes" all day long. Murong Yan
How can you harshly accuse a little girl of being ignorant, and the other person is always thinking about herself?
What's more, Yu Wenxuan does have plans for Murong Yan.
Until one night while camping, Bai Feng heard with his own ears that Yu Ke was scolding Yu Wenxuan while eating with Murong Yan. He went over to stop him with some confusion and said: "A'ke, why does Yu Wenxuan have such a big hatred against you?
?”
"Sister Murong..." Yu Ke timidly stood up and said, "Yu Wenxuan, you are looking at Sister Murong with that look again today. Aren't you afraid that one day he will snatch Sister Murong away?"
Bai Feng found an empty seat and sat down, and said humorously: "How can I and other juniors be able to control where the Holy Lady is going? Serve me some soup, and I will rest here tonight."
"That kind of guy should dig out his eyes..." Yu Ke cursed secretly again and served Bai Feng the broth.
Bai Feng didn't take the soup bowl, but instead blamed him: "Ake, I don't remember that I ever taught you to curse others behind their backs. Gao Jiajun and Yu Wenxuan cooperated not to expose each other, at least, Yu Wenxuan really wanted to protect
For the people of the Central Plains, this is enough."
"You're so young, you have a vicious mouth!" Bai Feng mocked, stole Murong Yan's soup bowl and took a sip: "If you are really dissatisfied, I will ask Yu Wenxuan and his bodyguard Zhu Dian to come and apologize to you tomorrow.
,how?"
"This... is not good." Yu Ke sat on the table holding the broth he served, curling up: "I am a villain, how can he be willing to apologize to me?"
Bai Feng said: "As long as I hold my sword against his throat, he will definitely be willing to come over."
"No, no, no!" Yu Ke refused quickly and said, "Just for an apology, you still want to go to war?"
Bai Feng nodded: "The truth is that simple. Dignity is never given to you by others, but do you have to go to war for such a small amount of dignity? No, we and Yu Wenxuan are far from being mortal enemies.
If you find a chance next time, you can have a private duel with Zhu Dian and give him a good beating to vent your anger. Wouldn't it be better than this method?"
"But, I can't beat him." Yu Ke looked at Murong Yan pitifully, praying for some verbal help.
Murong Yan smiled and shook her head.
Bai Feng said: "Oh, it turns out that you can't beat others, so you can only blame others behind their backs? Akko, you are this kind of person? When you were fostered by your mother in the home of your uncle and aunt, was it possible that you were doing the same thing every day behind your back?
Curse?"
After hearing this, Akko had tears in his eyes unconsciously.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk." Bai Feng finished tasting the soup in Murong Yan's bowl, then filled another bowl and returned it: "Yan'er, don't pamper her too much. I've given her the sword. It's up to her how to use it.
It's your own business. Next time Yan'er hears her gossiping, she will be punished if she deserves punishment. Things that disrupt the morale of the army will never be allowed to happen here!"
Murong Yan finally tried to persuade her, saying: "Brother Feng, are you too harsh? Akko is right. Ever since Yu Wenxuan broke into the tent that day, he has been secretly inquiring about my past. We really need to
Beware of two or three."
"It's okay, so what if we let him know? Since it's an alliance, this kind of thing will be made public sooner or later." Before Bai Feng finished speaking, Yu Ke suddenly dropped the hot soup bowl, picked up the sword and ran out without missing a trace.
Murong Yan looked at Bai Feng gloomily, with the words "It's all your fault" written all over her face.
Bai Feng explained: "Yan'er..."
"You remember to wait for A'ke to come back later, otherwise you are not allowed to turn off the lights and go to bed~" After Murong Yan finished speaking, she turned back to the couch and hung up the screen.
Bai Feng said: "The Holy Lady has an order, how can I disrespect you?"
After speaking, Bai Feng arranged for someone to clear away the dishes, tables and chairs, and stood outside the tent waiting for a few sticks of incense. It was almost until the third watch before she saw Yu Ke, covered in dust, slowly walking back.
"Little girl, did you go to sword practice just now?" Bai Feng asked deliberately pretending to be a stranger.
"Yes, big brother..." Yu Ke said helplessly.
Bai Feng took out a flying knife from his crotch, shot it at the opponent's feet, and said: "Little girl, the gap between you and that giant man is too big. It's impossible to win without some cleverness, whether it's with a hidden weapon or something else."
You can use any method. Don’t tell me that using concealed weapons is not what a gentleman does, but he is a gentleman when he bullies a child? Hahaha.”
Yu Ke picked up the flying knife. In fact, compared to the size of her palm, this flying knife was more like a dagger.
"Okay!" She smiled as if she had found a treasure, and followed Bai Feng into the tent to rest.
The next day, the complicated march resumed, and Yu Ke, who had a new goal, no longer followed the example of the "long-tongued woman". She began to concentrate on practicing swordsmanship, putting following Bai Feng and Murong Yan first instead of hating anyone.
